    I know film and digital are different. But here is the thing, as you mentioned in a previous video, despite been shooting B&W film for quite a long time, M11M will from now on be your main camera. Definitely give us thoughts on how well M11M performs (as a daily companion) vis-a-vis shooting HP5+ with M6.

    I'd love to see a B&W vs Color side by side. I understand the science behind the monochrome sensor, but I really haven't seen any good examples of the benefits.

    • @caffeinatedcameras
      @caffeinatedcameras Рік тому +1

      Via UA-cam you probably won't. But if you were seeing it on your own monitor it would be apparent.

    • @Paul-jb6rk
      @Paul-jb6rk Рік тому +2

      The main benefit is much lower noise at much higher ISO''s. In other words, much cleaner files. This is because the Monochrome sensor captures much more light for the same exposure compared to a color sensor. The second benefit is supposed to be sharper files but from all the comparisons I have seen, this is extremely minimal and is way overstated. Even if you have only modern Leica APO lenses, the benefit is extremely minor. I wouldn't base a purchasing decision on that (sharpness).

    • @barrycohen311
      @barrycohen311 Рік тому +1

      It's hard to quantify, but it has its own vibe for sure with the images. I posted a few minutes ago, asking Matt what lenses he uses with it. Like with any camera body, the lens itself has a huge impact on the end results. The images in this video do not look high contrast, which is kind of refreshing IMO. One man's opinion, but super high-contrast B&W has kind of been played out already. The shadow details look quite insane, and perhaps that is one of the benefits...

    @angryrabbitproductions1690 Рік тому +1

    I feel happy for you. Most will never know how special this camera is. Got mine last week also and absolutely love it. The high ISO performance in this camera is mind blowing. It does slow down your shooting at first… that is until you learn how to zone focus. After that you are faster than with a mirrorless.
    I did notice an issue with pattern noise, but I learned it’s actually an issue with Light Room lens correction profiles not supporting the M11 Monochrom. Turn that off in LR and the images look stellar… even at 100k ISO.
    I plan to share my personal experiences with this camera over on my channel. Should have something up this weekend.
    I’ll be looking forward to hear your opinion after spending more time with the Monochrom.

    Hope you cover the viso flex as I am 75 now .I used the M10 that the Leica Store in Bellevue loaned out for a weekend. I found that I missed focus about 35% of the time.
    I did enjoy using the M10 with the 35mm apo Could you find some older person like me go out with you and have him or her shot the M11 with the viso flex and them give you there feed back how it worked for them. Thanks Matt

    Traded in my M10 for the M11M and loving it. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on shooting at the different resolutions - pros and cons. Also it seems like it's best to pretty significantly underexpose in high dynamic range situations - curious if that's your experience also.

    Thanks Matt, love your work. What I’d like to see? Maybe direct comparisons to film including fine grain film and also the use of filters on the lenses to alter response of the sensor, and maybe how this translates to prints. Does adding ‘grain’ to the M11 images make it indistinguishable from your M6 using HP5+/Tri-X? Thanks.

      @@jasongold6751 The M10D is a rather unique camera that I will keep until Leica can no longer repair it. The M10M is a different animal; when I go out to shoot in B&W there is no crutch to fall back on in terms of color if I don't capture the shot. I have no plan on upgrading to the M11M; rather, I see very little in terms of actual improvement other than more megapixels.
